The Stinky Blues

WILLIAMSBURG Even if you’re already well-versed in your farmstead cheeses, you can always stand to pick up another tip, or indulge in your favorite style at Martin Johnson’s Joy of Cheese tastings, paired with wines, spirits, or beer depending on the bar that’s hosting him. January is his month to celebrate blue cheese, and at his standing Brooklyn host, d.b.a., he’ll be pairing seven beers with 5-6 blues new to the New York City market plus 1-2 non blues to let your palatte recover. Tickets are $25. (Eater’s Digest reminded us of this event; check em out!)
